for me personally i always use a guided meditation! i find it really hard to keep focus on my own (since i'm very much still starting out) so having the guidance to call my focus on breathing helps a lot. and from doing more of those, you'll end up learning some of the more common techniques, like box breathing or body scanning - i think maybe these would vary depending on what kind of meditation/what you're using it for because i do a lot of stuff around stress and anxiety. the other thing is to not be too ambitious with it right off the bat, i've been doing 5 minutes a day for a month and have only just gotten up to 10 now so i don't force myself into it or freak out. and like any other habit, just making it easy for yourself to access or fit into your day (e.g i do it when i wake up) -- best of luck with it! <3
